Agree with you, but as an aside, there is an easier way to remove the non-silicone pf gasket. No chiseling or screws or force required.
Let the machine heat, remove the PF, then use a very small flathead screwdriver against the bottom lip of the screen and the edge of the group to lever it down in 2-3 places. It will come out easily, and bring the gasket with it. No damage to the screen if you’re gentle. Takes less than a minute. Hope that helps you and/or others! Also works great for the silicone one. My pf always sticks to the silicone gasket and the basket pops out of the pf. Any ideas?
